LSP crashes on textDocument/hover

[henryhchchc]

Description

solc LSP mode crashes textDocument/hover with certain code snippets. Possibly due to null pointer dereference.

Environment

• Compiler version: 0.8.29-develop.2025.4.3+commit.ab55807c.Linux.clang
• Compilation pipeline (legacy, IR, EOF): LSP
• Target EVM version (as per compiler settings): N/A
• Framework/IDE (e.g. Foundry, Hardhat, Remix): LSP
• EVM execution environment / backend / blockchain client: N/A
• Operating system: AlmaLinux 9.5

Steps to Reproduce

1. Setup solc --lsp as language server in any text editor (e.g., neovim).
2. Create main.sol with the following code and open it.
3. Hover on the S in the function argument list.
4. solc crashes

contract C {
    struct S { uint256[2**255] x; }
    function f(S storage) internal {}
} //           ^
  //           Hover here

The request lead to the crash is as follows

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "textDocument/hover",
  "params": {
    "textDocument": {
      "uri": "file:///path/to/main.sol"
    },
    "position": {
      "line": 2,
      "character": 15
    }
  }
}

The crash stack is as follows
